Consumer Description

REAR WHEEL BEARING DETERIORATION AT 12,000 MILES ON A BMW F800GS. RIDING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. CHECK THE BEARING AFTER READING AN INTERNET POST ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVING BEARING FAILURES. THE BEARING FELT PITTED AND GRITTY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL AND THEY REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY WITH FACTORY PARTS. UNCHECKED THIS WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
